Description

Since Vaadin 8 has reached a point where it is no longer being maintained as open source for bug, security and browser changes, does anybody have build instructions for Vaadin 8.14.3? This could at least give us a fighting chance to avoid having our users suffer from bug/security fixes in particular, and new browser version changes going forward.

Or is there anybody who has forked 8.14.3 with such plans that we could join forces for? We don't need more features, just insurance that our software won't be vulnerable because of bugs/security issues that remain in the platform.
